We've been really busy this month, getting the house set up, running errands, stocking the freezer. I love to cook and I'm forever trying to find ways to feed my family good food without spending all day long in the kitchen. I don't mind it, but the kids don't like Mom cooking most of the day. So far I've stocked us with the following:

Katerina also chose glycerin soap, but she added both lavender oil and oatmeal. Very soft and silky!

Glycerin and lavender seemed to be very popular, but Zara went against the grain and chose Shea Butter soap. Then she added almond, kombu, sea salt and lavender flowers. When all the ingredients were melting, it smelled good enough to eat!

We had some issues with the molds, but overall I think all the girls had fun and are enjoying their soap. I know I am!

It 's no wonder the Eskimos and Native Indians have so many words for snow. Such beauty, what a gift snow can be! The forest is blanketed in white and looks so inviting. Its' perfect stillness can't help but to give a sort of peace and rest for the soul.

We're finally getting settled into our new house. We wake up to the peaceful sounds of the forest. It's very quiet around here except for Zara's non-stop jibber-jabbering! She loves the forest and tries to stay outside as much as she can. Here's a picture of the view off our back porch.

WELCOME!
